This audiobook is an on-going collection of stories by Nikolai Vasilievitch Gogol (1809-1852) as rendered into English by a variety of translators whose works are in the public domain. The version of "The Cloak" is translated by Isabel F. Hapgood (1886), the "Memoirs of a Madman" and "The Nose" are translated by Claud Field; and others... There is an oft quoted statement referring to Gogol's "The Cloak," one that for more than a hundred years has appeared in a variety of forms and has been attributed to many different Russian authors, critics, and the like, including Dostoevsky himself. It goes something like this: "We all come out from Gogol's OVERCOAT." Some of these recordings appear elsewhere on Internet Archive, many of them are in several collections originating from LibriVox.

Music used in "The Overcoat" sections was provided by Musopen.com: Joseph Hayden's Sonata No. 13 in G Major, Hob. XVI. 6 - III, Andagio, as performed by Vadim Chaimovich.
